Image description: Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body. Author: Albinus, Bernardus Siegfried (1697-1770) / Illustrator: Grignion, C; J. & P. Knapton: London, 1749 Language: English Source/Shelfmark: 3.Tab.73.(1), tab.IV The landscape backgrounds were Wandelaar’s idea, and were intended to relieve the harshness of the figures by providing the illusion of three dimensionality. The figure, which in this plate reveals the fourth order of the muscles, stands out prominently against the background in which the female rhinoceros, seen by Albinus in 1742, is blithely grazing. The plates in this English edition were by the French engraver, Charles Grignion. .
